For Asthma, Maintenance "Does not work have had this for months. I take it when I suffer from breathing on my bad days, 2-3 times those days but notice no effect. In the docs office they have given me rescue inhalers that work for me but this is what my insurance covers, I plan on trying to change when I go back."

For Asthma, acute "The new ventolin with the counter is no good, they don’t relieve my symptoms at all and it feels like not enough is released and after that I’ve had to go to the hospital a few times with difficulties breathing, where the ventolin would relieve me in the past."

For Asthma, acute "Ventolin is a good product actually it makes me feel relieved whenever asthma hits me, I take 2-3 puffs and after a short span of time, I can breathe easily already. But I would like a Ventolin that doesn't need to be refilled because it so pricey that sometimes I have to sacrifice some things in order to prevent my asthma from hitting me from time to time. I would really appreciate it if someones innovates this kind of product."

For Asthma, acute "Does anyone else have feedback on using the new dose counter jacket on the puffer. I had an attack, reached for my puffer and could not remove the cap no matter what I did. I was feeling my anxiety level rising and my chest heaving but that cap would not come off. I have found all of the caps since are difficult to remove. I may be old but I'm not feeble.The pharmacist was surprised how difficult it was to access the medication. I wonder if others have had any problems ? Thank you."

For Asthma, acute "I find it very peculiar that so many are now saying that this drug isn't as effective as it used to be and it causes problems. I have used ventolin for 25 years. It NEVER made me dizzy. Now in the last 2 years there has been a warning label for dizziness. Now I get dizzy . GSK needs to be investigated..Something is very wrong here.."

For Asthma, Maintenance "Have used Ventolin for 40 years or more but find these days it is only fully effective when new. Keep it my your pocket for a while and it's effectiveness is reduced. I have just discarded one I have been carrying which still has 95 puffs remaining (Exp 01 2024) as it simply didn't work. I took a new one from the fridge and it works fine."

For Asthma, acute "Have been using countered dose for the last few months. Yes I rinse it. Even when it was brand new. The countered doses do not work. I found an old expired one without a countered dose, and got instant relief. Horrified by how bad the countered dose ones are. Use a preventer countered dose for flixotide and that is not as bad, can still feel the dose being delivered."
